w2216h via DVI - flicker, too much text, etc.

Hello. I'm on a HP a6614f with screen w2216h.

I have upgraded to a Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT from PNY video card and have been connecting the monitor and the card via VGA. Today I received my DVI-HDMI adapter (down a cheap eBay HK if it makes a difference) in the mail and tried out. The image was horrible! There are vertical lines everywhere. I could solve this problem by going to the Nvidia Control Panel and change the format digital color of RGB to YCbCr44. However, I always had other problems.

The screen flickers a lot, sometimes to two or three seconds at a time, or even longer. Text would also look too strong, making it hard to read, and it is an area in the middle of the screen where the text would be a blur. The blur seems to correct itself (I didn't really do anything but to disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable to the end of the adapter) but the problem of a text sharpness and flicker still exists. Also, the colors were a bit off. For example, the red underlining of Firefox for misspelled words appear gray.

My resolution when you use VGA is 1680 x 1050, which is the native resolution. When I switch to HDMI, the native resolution is higher than this and when changed to that resolution is horrible. The edges are cut off or something, so I left it to 1680 x 1050, which is what I am anyway.

Anyone has ideas how solve my problems? I am currently using VGA.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Using too much CPU only when loading the network

    When FF works closely with the network (wired or wireless) card for access to the network, CPU utilization spikes in way more than 70% and he stayed there until the page loading process finishes web.
    After the upload is complete, the CPU usage remains somewhere between 5-10%.

    When I look at clips youtube 1080 p, where FF is duty next buffer part of this clip I watch, new CPU use peaks above 70% with the flash plugin and gives a total of a 100% of cpu for a few moments and use which make this clip to stop playing or to frame bad times, and ties.

    I have been activated in about: config webgl acceleration to activate the force and that much improve the initial problem, then I activated gfx.direct2D - activated force and also to improve the problem remaining.
    I also disable the safe_mode parameter file adobe flash config protectedmode = 0.

    I have to mention that the initial problem was way to bad ... 
    

    Now I get to point when I don't know what to do so that FF does not use much CPU loading pages.
    As you can see I use to publish this version of Nightly 64 bit (I think it's the 64-bit version...) which is much more better and I would like to read youtube 1080 p clip normally, after that I have wait a few moments to buffer, before starting to play.
    Version 32 bit FF won't let me watch YouTube without framing hurt when the clip is buffered.

    I was monitoring the Task Manager and all the processes listed... and there, I can't blame antivirus or firewall to the peaks of the processor. Also if I do the rest of the network traffic, as well as inside the network custom CPU even file copy flinch.

    Can someone help or give an opinion on what setting to do, so I can eliminate these spikes?

    Thanks in advance!

    Problem solved partially:

    I have observed that the CPU spikes occur not only while I use FF or mozilla nightly, but on all web browsers (Chrome, IE, Opera, etc) that I have used, while these browsers accessing the network.

    Uninstalling the firewall of the solution of the AV portion has helped a lot and by also disabling the bed in the firewall solution of W7, but for long term use, this isn't the right answer (for my at least). Without any firewall FF work or installed works like a charm, while the CPU usage is increased at a decent level of 50% max (total tasks and running services)!

    Anyway, as I said earlier, my pc without any firewall operation is not a good think to do, so I'll replace my computer with a faster, or I'm going to overclock it at a level that zapping INTERNET and navigation will not infringe too much on the performance of the system, or... I live whit it and I accept the limitations...

    Perhaps, in the development of the FF, programmers will keep in mind that not everyone on this planet has powerful processors - and... give a few options... to decrease the CPU at acceptable levels, event, even if they use the firewall solutions that violate on the CPU while FF is buffering of data across the network.

    I should also mention that Mozilla nightly (64-bit) and FF, are always better then IE - in my opinion - which is.

  • MacBook Air storage issues - I have iCloud but using too much data, which is a better solution?

    I have a Macbook Air processor intel and storage 4 GB, I use iCloud for storing all my data, but recently I had a problem with too much use of my data internet home. We are limited because we live in a rural area. So I guess I have two questions: 1) can I use an external hard drive to avoid having to use my iCloud? and if I do which is the best to use external storage drive? I have a lot of files and photos, I am a real estate agent. I got this Macbook Air since September 2015 still invite us to her also. Next question, can I use another Mac with a bigger hard drive instead of the MacBook Air? My son told me in the Macbook air because of its features, but the storage for me is imperative. Please notify

    Use many small external drives that you can carry in your pocket that connect to the computer via USB 3.0. Shop for them at Amazon.com.

    BTW, 4 GBs is the memory of the computer, no storage. MBA come with built-in SSD from 128, 256 or 512 GB capacity. You choose the MBA with the SSD model that best fits. However, once you make the computer cannot be updated.

  • NEITHER myDaq "drawing too much power."

    I broke out my myDaq and myProto today and was going to try to test it alongside my shiny new Virtualbench for EE Labs it and for the next quarter. With nothing connected to anything on the test setup, I tried to run the CC ELVIS level output to see if my camera was working and test its reported tension against the DMM Virtualbench. I turned on and as soon as I flipped the switches on the myProto itself the application tells me: "one or more connections to external supply rails draw too much power. The operation has been aborted to prevent the unit to use too much power. "He cut and refuses to turn on.

    Nothing is connected to the card. Any ideas?

    I noticed this topic is a bit of traffic and I wanted to update.

    I'm not entirely sure of what was causing the problem, but it is possible that the absence of a charge was panicking the software somehow. I tested the unit with a multimeter to ensure that I saw the expected, etc., output voltages and everything was fine. The issue went away when I prototyped a circuit for a laboratory.

    Very strange.

  • Operating system uses too much ram

    Say hello to new parthcool.

    It is a normal behavior of a browser like Chrome or Firefox.  You run several tabs in Chrome?  Chrome treats each tab as a separate instance of the browser and for this purpose a separate process.  It is a good feature because it means that a hanging web page will not (usually) bring down the browser everything.  However, this means that Chrome uses a lot of RAM.

    Using intensive plugins memory within these tabs, like Adobe Flash, will greatly increase the amount of memory used.

    Here is a screencap of my own memory used within Chrome.  I did open Chrome before that and I currently have seven tabs.  This represents about 400 MB with pages containing the text for most.

    Unfortunately, because this is a consequence of the features of the browser itself, there are only a few options to solve the problem.  You can try to minimize the amount of memory that Chrome uses by following the instructions in this article.

    Your second option is to upgrade your laptop to include more memory.  You also extend the usefulness of your laptop.  If you want to go this route, I need your product number to locate the appropriate parts and information.  Follow this document to locate the product number.

    Finally, and this is probably the most effective solution, is to use the Ready Boost of the window function.  Ready Boost allows you to use Flash memory, such as a USB key, as secondary memory for your computer.  Here's a great thread in which explains how to use Ready Boost.

    I hope you find this useful parthcool; have a great day!

  • Photosmart 5510 "disabled" related "to the use of too much power.

    Printer worked fine. All of a sudden when I turn on the printer, I get an error message indicating that a device has been disabled because it used too much power to the computer via the USB port. I receive a message within printing itself was to say that the printer is offline or not connected, but it is connected properly as it always.

    I restarted the iMac (10.7.5), uninstalled/reinstalled the printer software, disconnected/reconnected the cables, tried other USB ports... done everything I can think of. The message I get on the "device" does not specify which device, but I get the error message whenever I push the button 'on' on the printer.

    I don't have a wireless so that is not involved. It seems that the printer is permanently "disabled" due to too draw on the Mac? Never heard of this and they need to fix it!

    When you try to setup assistant to reinstall the printer is not recognized, even though I know that it is properly connected and turned on.

    Any help very graciously agreed. Thank you.

    Hi Katecrimson,

    I understand that you use a Photosmart 5510 with an iMac and you get an error indicating that a USB device drew too much power of the computer, so it has been disabled. I will certainly do my best to help you solve this problem!

    What you have described, and what I could find online, it seems like it might be a problem with the USB cable. I would recommend that acquire you another cable to the printer and try this. I would recommend that once you say USB cable, disconnect whatever it is what USB connected to your iMac, it reboot and then proceed to connect all the devices back, leaving the printer until the last. With a new thread, you must run is no longer in this error.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

    iCloud drive holds shadow copies of all the files on your Mac so you can always access your documents, even in offline mode. It is supposed to keep your documents synced to your devices, not as only an off-site storage to save space on the mac.

    You can't stop the shadow - on iCloud drive all files will be downloaded to your Mac, if you enable iCloud drive.

    If you want to iCloud drive as an external storage without the shadow, don't turn on your Mac, but only use the web interface at www.iCloud.com to download and view the documents there. But then you will not be able to see iCloud drive as a drive in the Finder.
